The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.

Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

How much is one American body worth?

We spend more to detain prisoners here in the U.S. than El Salvador earns for all their goods and services annually.

Harold Gonsalves threw himself on a grenade to save his fellow Marines during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II. Now Trump's Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is erasing Gonsalves from military databases as part of his anti-diversity purge.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war!

How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

I hope this Valentine’s Day you’re appreciated for who you are. Not who people think you are. Not who people want you to be. Not who you once were. Not who you never were. But who you are. Right now. In the present.

Anyone who has studied the fascism, violence and pogroms of the post-reconstruction era of America would know that white humiliation / Black progress has long been this country’s ticking time bomb.

The historical parallels are 1920s Oklahoma, not 1930s Germany.

But this history is often buried.
Who would have predicted that America's dystopia and increasingly-likely destruction as a viable democracy would be set in motion by a Black named Obama roasting a WATB (at the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner), when Trump had already been joke fodder for New York City tabloids for *decades*

And everyone who said it’s not about race.

The fact that the very *first moves* of Trump/Musk were to dismantle racial integration efforts (yes this is what I will call DEI), and destroy USAID, an agency that helped victims of South African apartheid.

This is White Supremacy 4.0 in action.

This is a good action.
If you have ever received treasury payments - tax returns, student loans, financial aid, social security, etc. Call your bank, mortgage company, credit card company, university. Express concerns about the federal personal data breach. Ask how they will protect your information. Put on the pressure!
